dane diana johnson, the labour mp, to put forward an amendment to the government bill at the end of last year, the government was defeated on it and her amendment that was passed required ministers to set up the compensation scheme within three months of the bill becoming law, and that is likely in the next month or so. and for a high courtjudge to chair the compensation body. the government set out its own plans today with its own amendment and this says that legally the compensation body will be set up the minute the bill becomes law, but there is no mention of a timetable, no mention of a high courtjudge. dame diana told me tonight she is concerned about this and they have had to fight every step of the way to get this far and now this has emerged and one campaigner said there was the suspicious there was some watering down going on. hugh pym, thank you. a fall in the price of some meats, crumpets and chocolate biscuits has helped push down inflation to its lowest level for two and a half years. the rate at which consumer prices rose was 3.2% last month, down from 3.4% in february. fo

they in the past voted against measures mike johnson has put forward. it remains to be seen whether they would support this. the majority of the house freedom caucus has already come out against this unless it contains some offset of aid for ukraine. a lot of them are against that in the first place. the bigger picture is mike johnson has had this problem for a long time. he has conservatives in his own party that have not been able to help him get bills across the finish line, but because he continues to work with democrats, that's the major question of what it means for his future as speaker if he does end up putting a bill on the floor and using democrats to move that legislation, whether that means marjorie taylor greene and other conservatives will trigger the motion to vacate that could remove speaker mike johnson from his speakership. helena: touching on the motion to vacate, is there a possibility it could get more support? daniella: definitely. a lot of conservatives have said they are interested. so far there is marjorie taylor greene and anot
